Just catch up!!

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose" - Lyndon B. Johnson

So this morning I am thinking, let me once, for a start, write something very different here. Yes I have written about my feelings, my thoughts of love, pain and all but today, let me write something different and much more positive. Even though not on a particular topic or theme, or even if it doesn't make sense, let me just write, for a change, something different.

Yes it is very true that in life we change and so do the people around us but how is it that we stop leading our lives with happiness because of a someone who changed? Does it make sense? This morning, as my routine is...this one word, routine, is the root cause of a lot of us being unhappy you know? We live everyday the same way without initiating or inviting change and then complain to the Almighty that our lives are the same? Well, so as everyday, I come office and go through my Facebook (like it is my newspaper), read my horoscope, check my personal and work email, read articles on Yahoo that interest me (like this morning I read this heart-touching article: https://www.yahoo.com/travel/realtravel-i-met-my-fiance-on-study-abroad-in-spain-94137808422.html), but this morning I read someone's blog and I really thought to myself, yes how much has life changed and a line that hurt as much as it was true sort of stayed with me and will do so for some time to come now (my weakness I'd say..words don't leave me easily)..the line was 'The people I have in my life now are not the same ones I had a year ago.' Do we become friends with someone to be replaceable? Let us all think about this and about all those who we have known particularly the very close ones and ask, how come they faded? And today, within the busy lives we are leading, find one minute if you can and send an SMS, an inbox, a call and just...I guess catch up!!

Finally this morning, I leave you with a quote that brought inspiration to me. Life with a smile is just much more beautiful and if that smile has really come out of meaning, it is the best feeling one shall have.
